The effects of static versus dynamic 3D representations on 10th grade students’ atomic orbital mental model construction: Evidence from eye movement behaviors

作者:

Highlights:

• Dynamic 3D representations enhanced students’ performance.

• Dynamic 3D representations fostered students to allocate greater attention.

• Eye movements could predict students’ 3D mental models of an atomic orbital.

• Low-spatial-ability students with dynamic 3D representations spent more attention.
